The information is submitted to payroll electronically by the e-rostering team.

Please note payroll do not have access to your rotas or hours worked.

You can view your payslip in a number of ways:
There are two ways to access ESR, you can use your smart card or simply a Username and Password. Further information is available on the HR Intranet Page, under the ESR Self Service section. If you have any difficulties logging in please contact: workforce.information@bthft.nhs.uk
Copies of your payslips may sometimes be needed when providing proof of earnings, for example: Mortgage applications, Student Loan, Tax Credits etc… you can visit any Trust site to print these, or use your home printer (if printing from a laptop/PC). As the Government and HMRC endorse the use of electronic payslips you should not encounter any problem submitting copies instead of originals. Gov.Uk payslip advice.
In the unlikely event you are unable to access any electronic device such as a computer, smartphone or tablet either at work or at home we do have the facility to switch a paper copy back on. We would encourage you to consider this carefully before making a request as the paperless initiative will contribute to postage savings for the Trust. If you do opt to revert to paper your payslip will be delivered to your work address, not home. To do this please contact us by email at:
It is likely we will contact you first to discuss all possible options before acting on your request.
Please note; if you go on Maternity Leave your payslips will automatically revert to paper and be sent to you at home. If you leave the Trust your final payslip will automatically revert to paper and be sent to you at home, we advise it would be sensible to print off any historical copies you may require at this time as you will no longer have access when you have left.
New option for bank colleagues to access pay quicker
Wagestream is an option for colleagues who work bank shifts to access their pay more quickly.
The new system means that once you have worked a bank shift and it is finalised for payment, you can access 50% of your net pay, providing greater flexibility to access pay early.
Note: there will be a £1.95 transaction fee, payable to Wagestream, but you can draw down on as many bank shifts as you have worked in one transaction.
View the instructions on how to get started with this instant pay option here.

Every effort will be made by BPS in conjunction with your manager and the organisation to ensure your pay is correct. There may, on an exceptional occasion be the need to make an adjustment for either an over or underpayment. Please remember you have a responsibility to check your payslip each and every month and contact us if you are uncertain about anything or think there is an anomaly. BPS can only act on information we have received from either your manager or the organisation where appropriate, without this we will be unable to make any adjustment.
When you contact us to report an overpayment, we will need to investigate this and may need you to provide further information or contact your manager. Please be aware the NHS has a duty to recover all overpaid amounts as these are public funds. We will make arrangements with you to recover the overpayment in line with the policy – Please see below.
If you contact us to report an underpayment, we will need to investigate this and may need you to provide further information or contact your manager. The repayment will usually be made on the next available pay date, exceptions to this are described in the policy – Please see below.
You can do this in a number of ways:
There is a tear off slip attached to your payslip, this should be completed and sent to us. Alternatively you can send them in writing or by completing a change of bank details form. Please note details cannot be accepted via email. Please also note: ALL changes must be signed
You must still tell us your new account details. Using CASS does not provide the organisation with authority to change your details in our system. Whilst initially your salary is automatically redirected from your old account to your new one by your new bank; this stops after 13 redirections and any further monies sent to your old account will not be paid into your new one.
